This is my story........

Wrapped in Love Quilts are memory quilts for all occasions with Hospice patients having priority. Wrapped in Love Quilts was created after I learned a friend of mine had terminal cancer. I knew how much she loved her family, especially her grandchildren. I didn't know what to say to her when I received the news of her cancer so I came up with a way for her to wrap the love of her family around her. I created a photo quilt of all her loved ones along with her grandchildren's handprints on the back. She called it her faithful companion. Sue Liston passed away on October 31, 2007. During the year 2008 I created many quilts for hospice patients and persons that needed a little extra love wrapped around them. As you view the quilts and read the stories about them, starting with Sue's(2008-#1), you will see what a rewarding journey I have been on. The quilts are a beautiful way to express love when words seem inadequate. Needless to say, I feel very blessed to be able to help others.

#15 Samuel Rose

Samuel "Kendal" Rose is a patient with Good Shephard Hospice at this time. He and his wife, Bea, have 4 children, 4 grandchildren and 7 greatchildren who are all on his memory quilt. Kendal and Bea have raised their family in the beautiful mountains of Marble, NC. When Bea asked Kendal what colors he would like on his quilt, he said pink and blue. This quilt will always bring back memories for Bea of the days he would tell her to dress the kids up in pink and blue.
